SAFE FOODS GETS REGULATORY CLEARANCE IN CANADA

(NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR – MARCH 21, 2007) Safe Foods Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Curtis Coleman, announced today that the Arkansas-based company has received regulatory clearance from Health Canada for poultry processors in Canada to begin treating their products with the Company’s Cecure®-brand food safety technology.  Cecure is the Company’s patented Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC)-based antimicrobial which has demonstrated extraordinary efficacy against food-borne pathogens, including Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Campylobacter.  CPC has been safely consumed for more than 55 years in more than a dozen over-the-counter oral hygiene products.

“Canadian poultry processors have been contacting Safe Foods for several years about the availability of Cecure in Canada,” Coleman said.   “We submitted a petition to Health Canada in May of 2004 and received notice this week that the approval for Canadian processors to use Cecure to control food-borne pathogens on their poultry products has been granted.”

The FDA and USDA approved Cecure as a processing aid for the control of pathogens on raw poultry products in the U.S. in 2004, where the technology is currently being used as a pre-chill intervention.  The Company also obtained registration for Cecure in Russia at the end of 2005.

In October 2006 the North Little Rock-based company announced it had been granted regulatory approval in South Africa and it had also reached an agreement with a Saudi company for the distribution of Cecure to food processors in the Middle East.  “We’re experiencing a lot of market pull for our food safety technologies from more than a dozen countries around the world,” Coleman said. He added that the company’s international division is currently advancing the development of partnerships in S. Africa, Russia, the European Union, and in Central and South America.

Cecure, the North Little Rock company’s premier food safety technology, is being widely used by U. S. poultry processors to control food-borne pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli.  The Center for Disease Control estimates that food-borne pathogens account for approximately 5,000 deaths and an estimated 76 million illnesses annually in the U.S.
